Hercules is a constellation pattern of stars in the sky. Certainly not a galaxy.

Hercules is a constellation - a group of stars, visible in April and May. It is not really a group of stars, it just looks like a group as seen from the Earth. Many will be close, others will be distant.
The ten brightest stars in Hercules are the conveniently if unimaginatively named β Her, ζ Her, δ Her, π Her, α1 Her, μ Her, η Her, ξ Her, γ Her, and ι Her.
Hercules is large, but it doesn't contain any really bright stars. (The globular cluster called M13 is of interest.) These are the brightest stars (apparent magnitude) in Hercules: Kornephoros, Zeta Herculis, Sarin, Pi Herculis, Rasalgethi.
What we see as constellations is actually a 2-dimensional projection of the different stars in the galaxy. In ancient times, people saw patterns in the sky and so we got constellations. The constellation of Hercules was listed by Ptolemy but it is unknown who first named the constellation.
